Question

If 2/3 of the gravel cover 3/4of a driveway, how much tons of gravel are required to cover the entire driveway

Answer 1

To find the total amount of gravel required to cover the entire driveway, we need to combine the fractions that represent the coverage.

2/3 of the gravel covers 3/4 of the driveway. This can be represented as:

(2/3) * (3/4) = 6/12 = 1/2

So, 1/2 of the gravel is required to cover the entire driveway.

Therefore, to cover the entire driveway, the gravel required would be equal to the total amount of gravel that covers 1/2 of the driveway, which is equal to 1 ton.
